Xander made his modeling debut and wows the crowd, which includes his aunt and uncle. The Avants are right in the front row to cheer him on, and they aren’t the only familiar face there. Auntie Shirley’s there too and she’s as proud as a peach over Sally’s rise to the top.

When Steffy stormed the stage in the showstopper, the crowd went nuts in the showroom. She became the talk of the town and everyone was in awe. Steffy proved to the world a woman can have it all!

Well, maybe not everything. She has the fame, the fortune, but still, not everyone was on board. In fact, a few faces were absent from the crowd, including her stepmother.

Boycotting
It should come as no surprise Hope would stay home, but when Brooke decided to stay away, Ridge was stunned. His wife is still holding on to her grudge about this not being Hope’s moment.

[insert poll]

Of course, that’s not the only grudge she’s keeping. The drama with Bill continued to rub Brooke the wrong way, especially after Ridge once again demands Brooke keep her distance. If Bill does have something on him, the family needs to band together and not let him infiltrate their circle.

Dig, Dig, Dig
Ridge has every right to be worried. While he’s basking in the glow of Steffy’s success, Bill’s plotting his downfall. He and Justin (Aaron Spears) spent the morning in the office brainstorming ways to get the intel they need.

But, it’s not as easy as it seems. So, Bill does what he knows best – turns to Brooke for answers. He “ran into her” at their favorite restaurant and sat down for another tête-à-tête.

Bill laid on the guilt thicker than ever in hopes of breaking her down. However, Brooke managed to stay strong (this time) and didn’t breathe a word. Ridge’s secret is coming out, though, and Bill promised nothing will stop him from getting to the bottom of things – with or without her help.
